In India over 25 million children are born every year. Among them 6% of the children are born with some birth defects. This translates to around 15 lakh children. In addition around 10% of children (25 lakh/2.5 Million children) are affected with development delays . Children in India (Children) is an organisation that is committed to work with parents of these children with birth defects and development delays so that timely early intervention is ensured and these children get education opportunities in the regular play schools including Anganwadis. 

‘Children’ is a national network of inspired healthcare professionals and family members of children with birth defects and development delays. Children is working in close partnership with CURE Int.
